When you signed this petition, you stood up for sensitive, intelligent hens who are cruelly confined to cages. Several years on, and thanks to people like you, we’ve made huge progress.
Now, three quarters of hens in the UK are free from cages - a huge increase on a decade ago.
This progress has come because public pressure pushed hundreds of companies across the country to commit to stop using eggs from caged hens. All major UK supermarkets are on track to stop caging hens by 2026. Except for one.
In a shocking betrayal, bosses at Iceland have ditched their cage-free commitment, condemning millions of hens to life in a cramped cage.
We won’t allow it. We’ve launched a petition with national treasure Joanna Lumley, demanding that Iceland bosses reinstate their cage-free commitment immediately. Will you join the outcry and sign it now?
The progress we’ve made for hens in the last decade is astonishing. Millions of hens are living better lives today thanks to the campaign victories you’ve helped us to win. We cannot allow a few short-sighted bosses at Iceland to hold back progress for animals.
For the animals,
Katie Ferneyhough, Head of Programs at The Humane League UK
